Mark Daigneault Details Thunder Locker Room’s Mental State Ahead of Game 4 vs Pacers

Losing an NBA Finals game is tough. Losing one after you just decimated your opponents in the game prior is even tougher. But judging from Mark Daigneault’s words on media day ahead of Game 4, it seems the Oklahoma City Thunder aren’t ones to succumb to such a fate.

See, the Thunder lost a back-and-forth Game 3 to the Indiana Pacers last night. But no one saw this coming. Especially after their 123-107 win in Game 2 to tie the series. And many thought the Thunder team would be down in the dumps emotionally after conceding the series lead to Indy. But that’s not what happened. They looked disappointed, sure. But not down. And when a reporter pointed this out to head coach Mark Daigneault, he revealed his team’s secret to remaining focused.

“I think it’s if you’re going to get high on the wins, then the natural opposite of that is to get low on the losses, and this team doesn’t really swing violently between those two things, never has. I think a lot of that’s just the personality of the players, and they do a great job with that,” said the Thunder head coach.
